you've got the Police Department, you've got the Liquor Control, Personnel Services, the reason, I think, for keeping the Mayor out of this is so that once he makes his appointment he doesn ' t come back and continue to become involved in that particular commission. This is why, I think, you find these particular commissions that are appointed and that elect their own, or appoint, their own director and in the case of the Chief of Police, the commission does appoint the Chief of Police but I don ' t think you should put the Mayor in their where he can remove these individuals, at any time, because then I think you will have a problem. MR. TRULSON: Mr. Chairman. Upon review of the various directors under Article VII in their testimonies to us, like they said, they did not completely understand that section, but they all said that there had never been any abuse by the Mayor, or the present Mayor, I would say. There, again, there is the possibility for future abuse of it and there, again, you can 't charter the person, you have got to. . . CHAIRMAN SAKATA: I don ' t think there has been any major difficulty, whatsoever, as far as this provision is providing for. MR. TRULSON: I would like to move for the question. MR. SCHUTTE: I call for the question. MR. OMONAKA: Second. CHAIRMAN SAKATA: It has been moved and seconded that we retain Section 7-1.6, as it is. Any other discussion? Are you ready for the question? Does everybody know the intent of the motion? Ayes - Kobayashi, Iwamoto, Noes - None Cadinha, Ishida, Schutte, Sensano, Omonaka, Trulson, Yanaga, Sakata - 10 Carried. MR. SCHUTTE: Mr. Chairman. Would it be proper at this time then to move that the balance of this particular Chapter 1 , Department of Civil Service be left as is. MRS. IWAMOTO: Second.
